See who has viewed your Google Doc, Sheet or Slide.

You've created a super Google Doc and have shared it with your team for feedback. It would be handy to see who on your team has viewed the document before sending it to a client. With Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, you can see who has viewed your file, and the instructions below will show you what to do to find this handy tool.

There are three main caveats to seeing who has viewed your file. You must be using a Google Workspace business edition, your file must be a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide, and the viewer needs to be signed in with a Google account. 

Here is how you can check to see who has viewed your file.

• Open your Google Doc, Sheet or Slide file.

• In the top right, click the upwards moving arrow.

• The window that appears will show you who and when they viewed your file.

• You'll also get an option to email a reminder if someone has forgotten to view the file.

Is your business looking for a better way to share documents?
